HardWire CR7 Stereo Chorus Pedal

The CR-7 is a true stereo chorus with seven chorus types ranging from a traditional sounding analog chorus to a popular jazz style chorus. Due to the high-voltage operation, the CR-7 is at home both on a pedalboard or in the effects loop of an amp where standard pedals distort due to the large signal from the amplifier's loop. The CR-7 is also extremely flexible due to the true stereo I/O for those who have complex connections and sounds.

zZounds is an authorized dealer of HardWire by DigiTech products.

"Amazing chorus - surpasses boutique!"

Sound:
It sounds amazing! This is 7 chorus pedals in one! I am very picky about my tone, and even pickier when it comes to bypass signal. This is true bypass, and the HardWire series may have just saved DigiTech from going in the proverbial hole. All of the chorus sounds are pretty authentic, it goes from a single voice jazz chorus, to studio-grade multivoice, to boutique emulation! The only concern I have for this pedal, which isn't really a concern, is that there is a slight volume boost when the pedal is activated, but it is pretty subtle and actually helps your sound. Overall, this is a great pedal and I would recommend it over even the most expensive boutique pedal. The pedal responds very well with the style of playing, it goes from smooth dark analog chorus, to bright chorus great for single coils. It can achieve virtually any chorus sound, unless you're looking for a crazy boutique pitchbending chorus like the Mid-Fi Electronics Pitch Pirate.
Feature:
As for features, the only way they could pack more into this is if they shipped candy with it like Devi Ever does. It came with a stompguard to put over the controls so that you don't whack your settings out of place if you step on the knobs during a show, which is pretty impossible due to the fact that the knobs lock into notches so that they don't move around. It also came with a glow in the dark label for it so you can see it on a dark stage. As for pedal features, it has pretty much everything but an EQ for the chorus like Boss has, but this has way more chorus options. It has a mix/level control, a speed control, depth control, and a selector for the type of chorus. The types of chorus on this are Boutique, Analog, Jazz, Vintage, Studio, Multi, and Modern. My personal favorite is the modern, because it sounds great after a distortion. Not too subtle but not too over the top.
Ease of Use:
It would take someone who has never used a pedal before to not be able to figure this out. Actually, even someone who has never used a pedal before can figure this out, the controls are extremely self-explanatory. Level, Speed, Depth, and Type. Absolutely no learning curve whatsoever. The manual is very descriptive on the voicing of the choruses to give you an idea of what they sound like too, so you know what each one means.
Quality:
It could probably survive being chucked out of a two-story window, and defenitely can survive being dropped dozens of times and some heavy stomping. This thing is a tank and will last you a lifetime probably.
Value:
Best chorus in the market in my opinion, even surpasses a lot of boutique pedals and I did a lot of research before I decided on this pedal. This is THE chorus you're looking for.
Manufacturer Support:
Never had to contact them about anything, because this pedal never gave me problems.
The Wow Factor:
Looks great to me, almost futuristic. Not the best looker but not the worst either. What does it matter what it looks like anyway? It's the sound quality that counts.
Overall:
Everything I need in a chorus, if it was stolen of course I would buy it again!
